Nateev Express

Nateev Express was founded in 2001. Shortly afterwards, it won the franchises for these two regions, previously served by Egged, as part of a national policy led by the ministry of transportation to spread the public transportation among multiple companies. Nateev Express started operating the bus lines in the northern Sharon area on December 31, 2001, and in the upper Galilee on January 28, 2002.{{cite web|url=http://www.interbuss.net/otobusim.html|publisher=Interbuss - Internet Bus Service|title=Nateev Express|access-date=2008-12-17 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080715085527/http://www.interbuss.net/otobusim.html |archive-date = 2008-07-15}}
